Goldschmidt, Turang, Paxton, Gorman, Feltner

Goldschmidt is off to a brutal start … Paul Goldschmidt’s (1B, STL) streak of five consecutive 30+ HR seasons ended when he finished 2023 with 25 HR and a .268 batting average in 686 PA. He faded in the second half of 2023, and is off to a terrible start in 2024, batting a measly .214 with 4 HR and 63% ct% through 193 PA. How are things under the hood?
| Year | PA | HR/SB | BA/xBA | bb%/ct% | GB/LD/FB | h% | HctX | PX/xPX | HR/F | Brl% | Spd/SBO |
| 2021 | 681 | 33/12 | .297/.272 | 10/77 | 36/23/41 | 33 | 131 | 130/143 | 17% | 14% | 104/6% |
| 2022 | 649 | 35/7 | .317/.281 | 12/74 | 40/19/41 | 37 | 106 | 170/127 | 20% | 12% | 100/3% |
| 2023 | 686 | 25/11 | .268/.251 | 13/72 | 41/21/37 | 32 | 116 | 111/130 | 15% | 12% | 82/6% |
| 2H23 | 323 | 10/3 | .248/.234 | 13/70 | 43/21/35 | 31 | 92 | 93/104 | 14% | 10% | 85/4% |
| 2024 | 193 | 4/2 | .214/.193 | 9/63 | 43/21/34 | 31 | 90 | 72/98 | 10% | 6% | 101/4% |
It’s a mixed bag:
- Goldschmidt’s ct% has crashed...
